Summary
“What? No, not Tim. It’s Jaylad.”
Dick froze for a second time. “What?” He choked out, turning to look at the phone slowly, as if the screen would have all the answers. Or disappear right in front of his eyes. Or maybe some dimensional nymph would pop out and start laughing at him- it wouldn’t be the first time.
“He’s here! He says you still owe him a backflip lesson.” There was so much happiness and relief in Bruce’s voice that Dick nearly choked on it.
Because Jason Todd was dead.

Summary
This is a rewrite of my fic under the same name! I knew I could do a lot better with the story than I did, but I don't want to take the other one down, at least until I finish this one.

Dick doesn't know how people typically grieve their best friends, but seeing them in your living room is probably not normal.Series

Summary
There was only one thing Scarecrow wanted to inflict. Fear.
In his head, Dick was grateful he was the one in the hot seat. He always had a harder time watching his loved ones be in pain than taking the pain himself. That face was one of the leading reasons behind almost everything he does. Furthermore, he and Bruce have been testing his level of resistance to Scarecrow's fear gas, and compared to the others- even Bruce- he was the best option for this. Right?
. .
OR: Scarecrow makes a fear toxin specifically for Nightwing, who seems to be immune to his normal batch. And maybe Dick could handle a newer version of the gas... if there wasn't also a device attached to his head that analyzed his thoughts to make him face his greatest fears...
What's worse is that his family, who have basically shut him out since his return from Spyral- from the dead- is there to witness his fall.

Summary
Dick Grayson is sure he is going crazy. Sure, everyone grieves in their own way, but he is pretty sure randomly seeing your dead best friend is not proof of his sanity. That and not to mention the awful ringing in his ears that usually accompanied these sightings.
Dick has decided that he doesn't need to bother any of his grieving friends about this unless it becomes a bigger problem, especially Artemis. So, Dick does what he always does: he puts on a smile and tries to seem as okay as possible.
The problem is that the episodes are only getting worse, and it has started affecting his ability to handle everyday life.

I Am the One Who Knows You by secretlyeviloops

Summary
Dick has been seeing Jason since the day he died. In the shadows of alleyways, in the Batcave, sitting at the foot of his bed. Not always the same Jason—sometimes he's twelve with scraped knees, sometimes seventeen and furious, sometimes the man he never got to see him become. But when a new player in Gotham starts calling himself the Red Hood, something changes. Suddenly, the Jason in Dick's head starts saying things he shouldn't know. Starts looking older. More solid. More real.
Grief and guilt blur into obsession, and Dick starts to wonder if he's hallucinating a ghost—or being haunted by something worse.

Summary
“Robin's rebreather failed. Nightwing gave him his.” Oracle said. There was frustration in her voice “He’s responding atypically.”
“Fucking hell O.” Jason said, shifting gears as he pushed his bike a little harder. “You’re not the Riddler. Atypical as in…?”
“As in he's fighting, and he’s not holding back.”OR: Nightwing is hit with Fear Toxin that makes the victim fight, unrestrained. The family isn't quite prepared.

Summary

or
In which Bruce decides to take someone home from a gala and ends up choosing reporter Clark Kent as his victim of the night.
